NORMAL services by Pakistan and Indian airlines between
their two countries started on March 1. Approval for flights
over each others' territories, previously agreed in principle,
came into force on February 10 when direct services between
West and East Pakistan were resumed by Pakistan Inter-
national. Since September, PIA had been operating the inter-
wing service by way of Ceylon, except during the actual fighting
between Pakistan and India, when the services were necessarily
abandoned altogether. Only one flight a day could be operated
in each direction. Since February 10 PIA has been operating
a total of 20 direct return nights a day between the two
wings. Of these, 12 are between Karachi and Dacca and eight
between Lahore and Dacca.
